I'm seeing the same thing: works from 80.*, doesn't work from 83.*. 
Note that www.mercer.com seems to suffer from a bad case of paranoia, 
they filter traceroute and ping, so probably a misconfigured firewall 
there. hk.yahoo.com traceroutes just fine from a 212.* address:

  13 sl-gw10-hk-15-3.sprintlink.net (203.222.38.54) [AS 1239] 292 msec 
292 msec 292 msec
  14 sla-yahoo2-1-0.sprintlink.net (203.222.39.74) [AS 1239] 292 msec 
292 msec 292 msec
  15 alteon1.hkg.yahoo.com (202.1.233.118) [AS 18293] 296 msec 292 msec 
292 msec

but hits a wall after the last sprintlink hop when coming from 83.*, so 
it's probably the router in that case:

13  sl-bb20-hk-3-0.sprintlink.net (144.232.20.28)  293.716 ms  293.990 
ms  294.028 ms
14  sl-gw10-hk-15-3.sprintlink.net (203.222.38.54)  292.629 ms  292.934 
ms  292.710 ms
15  * * *
